VOLUME 53, ISSUE 23 Friday, Oct. 30, 1992 Wendy Compton, a smashing asset to WSUs prowess in Big Sky tennis, p. 10 WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY OGDEN, UTAH Signpost m More than 1 ,200 students still allowed to register early By MARK FORSBERG Asst. news editor of The Signpost Although early registration was a hotly debated topic last year, more than 1,200 athletes, honor students, campus employees, physically challenged and veterans are still permitted to register before seniors.A proposal to stop early registration for all students except veterans was sent back to an executive committee last spring to be studied in greater detail, said Ruby Licona of the administrative standards andstu---dent affairs committee. The proposal was put on hold during summer quarter, but is now on the agenda . for this year's administrative standards and student affairs committee. However, the issue ranks behind the other priorities, including the enrollment cap proposal, Ir Licona said. "We'll probably start handling it by the first of the year. We hope to have something by spring quarter, but probably not until fall," she said. Licona was not sure which direction the proposal would take. "We have 20 people on the committee, so we'll have 20 different opinions." Presently, WSU has a total of 1,253 students registering before seniors, including 627 veterans, 170 athletes, 119 work-study employees, 203 hourly employees, 90 hon-ors students, two faculty and 44 staff. They represent 8.6 percent of the student body. "It's a busy day," said Dr. Winslow Hurst, director of admissions and registration, about early registration. A normal day has about 1,000 students registering. The University of Utah only allows the physically challenged and athletes to register early, said the supervisor of registration and records for the U. Only 400 students, or 1.5 percent of the student body, can register early. Utah State University ranks its students purely by class standing. Witch's Brow X, ?

Gubernatorial candidates debate education Education reform discussed between Utah's five candidates at WSU's Issues Forum By BRAD B. KENDRICK (See REGISTRATION on page 3) Staff writer of The Signpost Utah's five gubernatorial candidates presented their plan for educational reform, higher quality jobs and other issues at yesterday's Issues Forum. With only five days remaining before the election, the candidates clashed over education reform, and each presented an opposing perspective that received mixed reactions from a capacity crowd. Most of thecandidates began their opening statements with a call for support and a plan to help Utah's education system. Independent candidate Merrill Cook, referring to the level of education in Utah compared to Mississippi, said, "I've been to Mississippi and believe me, our colleges and universities are so much better; you should be grateful." Cook said being independent would allow him "to get the Republicans and Democrats to do the right thing," meaning he would be able to get cooperation from both parties. Ellie Garcia, Socialists Workers candidate, demanded Utah unite together and fight for a 30 hour work week with 40 hour pay. "It's not the candidates, it's not the election, it's the fight," Garcia said. Garcia also said Utahns needed to unite together for workers' rights on a global basis. "It's not that we are below Mississippi, it's that we are below 50other states, we are at the bottom," said Stewart Hanson, Democratic candidate. "If the trend for funding education in Utah continues, we will have some 11,500 unfunded students by next year." "I am the only choice for change," Hanson said. (See ISSUES on page 3) Friday.
